I am looking for the development of a brand guide and logos for my company and our main products.<p>Background:
    The company works in the Big Data space and is inherently technology focused. DemandCube is a high-end technology (BigData) consulting company and that logo will require a somewhat classic feel.<p>NeverwinterDP is a data pipeline which is the main umbrella product that contains the rest of the products names (Scribengin, Queuengin, Sparkngin). The logos will be used initially for branding on some internal websites&#x2F;document, powerpoint presentation headers and various other branded items.<p>A data pipeline is software that help move large volumes of data from one place to multiple destinations to be saved, filter and processed in real-time and in batch.<p>This company and product is being built in the BigData ecosystem which is the Hadoop ecosystem.  Hadoop (<a href="http://hadoop.apache.org" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;hadoop.apache.org</a>)  Generally when people are thinking about BigData they are thinking about thing like visualizations like you find in D3 (<a href="http://d3js.org/" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;d3js.org&#x2F;</a>)<p>If your interested the I would like to talk as see if there is a way to work together.<p>steve@demandcube.com

text: SEEKING FREELANCERS - Remote<p>I&#x27;m a web dev &#x2F; design consultant with several gigs coming, focused on finding Django engineers but one project involves Salesforce and if you&#x27;ve ever worked with Force.com and Apex I&#x27;d love to talk to you.<p>I&#x27;m based out of NYC, but my clients are often in California.<p>My main need is someone specifically with solid Django and Python skills - not just frontend as there is integrations and payments work involved. The gigs I have lined up are in the bidding phase but I&#x27;d like to have someone on deck to augment my team if needed. Having generalist web development skills is a plus too. I do prefer hourly freelancers and am slightly biased towards hiring devs in the US midwest or south.<p>If you&#x27;re interested, email me at zenjiweb+hnresponse@gmail.com<p>Also - I&#x27;ve posted in this thread on HN before for a client and got a lot of responses. Please please please include skills, links to your work, profiles on Github or Linkedin or a resume and some background info about you. Thanks!
